Your care routine
Watering
Water to establish and during dry weather, avoiding a continuously saturated bed.
Soil & drainage
An open, well-drained seedbed.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Sow the fine seed shallowly in cool spring, with bright light for seedlings.
Harvest
Pick flower heads when their white petals are fully open. Dry them in an airy place.
Through the seasons
This German chamomile is an annual; allow some seed to mature or sow anew for the next season.
When your plant needs help
- Harvest fully open flower heads; this is an annual chamomile rather than a permanent creeping lawn.
